Thousands Join To Celebrate Canelo Alvarez Conqueror’s Birthday

Dmitry Bivol, the WBA light-heavyweight champion, who gained stardom by defeating the likes of the undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez is celebrating his birthday. Today, the tough Russian turned 32.

The Boxing world did not upset the champ and joined his celebration on social media platforms.

Matchroom Boxing, the Promotion that works with Canelo took to Twitter and wrote, “Happy birthday to WBA World Light-Heavyweight Champion.”

Similar to this post, many other boxing pages on Twitter posted Bivol’s picture and wished him a happy birthday.

An account named BOXRAW wrote, “What a year.”

No doubt, this was Bivol’s year. He sent a message across with his shocking win-win over pound-for-pound Canelo.

Before this fight, the Russain’s fame was secluded to very limited folks. But things changed overnight when he met the Mexican star. He stepped inside the ring as an underdog and registered a monumental victory at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The four-division champ was stepping up in weight class in order to achieve greatness. He was challenging the light heavyweight title for the second time in his career. He was very confident of his win because Bivol was nowhere close to his aura.

When everyone was convinced of Canelo’s win, the underrated champion was motivating himself against heavy odds. His unflinching belief turned out to be historic. He proved in the ring that Canelo entered the wrong territory.

Following this win, Bivol met another Mexican fighter Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez in November in Abu Dhabi. The fight was much anticipated as Ramirez was undefeated and had the physical advantage. But it made no difference. He defeated Ramirez by decision.

Keeping in mind, the winning streak of Bivol at 175lb, ESPN has chosen him the fighter of the year.
